Lots of diapers

One of our neighbors did a diaper and wipes shower for me and a couple of the other moms in the ward who are expecting. And now we have lots and lots of diapers and wipes to get us started for our twins on the way!

Family photos

We took some family photos over the weekend. I am about 5 months pregnant with the twins in these. Probably our last family photos as a family of four! It was a bit of a challenge to get Luke to sit still and take a few photos of him by himself, he was running around and acting silly and making silly faces. But luckily we still got some good ones of him.

Fun at the zoo

Today we went to the zoo with Grandma Lori, Grandpa Sheldon, and aunt Jamie and had a fun time! It was a nice warm September day. Afterward Luke and Halle got to go home with grandma and grandpa and have a sleepover. 

At the zoo Luke LOVES taking photos of animals. He took about 100 of them. His favorite animal was the giant turtle - he thinks it is super cool. We call him our little nature photographer. 

Pregnant costume?

In our conversation over breakfast the kids were giving me all sorts of suggestions of what I can be for Halloween with my "big pregnant tummy"...pumba, the marshmallow man, jabba the hut...and they weren't laughing, these were sincere suggestions. Needless to say I'm feeling really cute this morning .

Fall ball

These cute kiddos had fun playing on the same baseball team this fall and we had a lot of fun watching them! Grandma Lori and Grandpa Sheldon were able to come to a lot of the games which was fun. 

Luke has really become quite a slugger and hits the ball every time. He would play in a position in the outfield like short stop or one of the bases where he would catch and throw the ball a lot and did really well at it. 

Hopefully we'll get the chance for them to play on the same team again!

Jog a thon and crazy hair day

Today Luke had a jog a thon for his school fundraiser he was very excited for. It was also crazy hair day! Of course Halle wanted to do her hair crazy along with Luke this morning :). 

Halle wanted to help me cheer on Luke in the jog a thon so I picked her up from preschool early and we went and cheered him on as he ran his laps to earn money for his school. It was hot outside but he still ran hard and did great! Fun day!

Sweet boy

A month or so ago Luke came home from church and have me this sweet card he made me. 

I love how he drew a picture of me and him holding hands :). I have had it sitting out on my counter in the kitchen up on display ever since. 

Also, one day in the summer I told the kids we could have a craft day and we went to Hobby Lobby and I let them each pick two wooden things to paint. One of the things Luke picked he didn't want me to see and kept it hidden. When we got home he still kept it secret and even when he was painting it he had to set a folder up to block my view so I wouldn't see what he was doing. When he was finished he was very proud to give me this wooden heart. I thought it was so sweet that when he saw that heart at Hobby Lobby he thought of me and chose to have that be one of the things he would buy and paint it for me. I loved it and was so pleased. I have also had this heart sitting out on my counter next to the note he wrote me for a month or so. Love my sweet boy.
